Helping still in the deep, dark mellow time
I can’t remember why or where
I met the soul who pulled me out
Stood beside and helped bring about
All the wondrous things
I now shout out.

When The Time Is Right
July 20, 2018
When the time is right and my heart is not cold
When I see things clear from stories told
When madness isn’t a partner in that yet to unfold
When I can stroll thru sadness unscathed and bold.
Then is when my journeys mine
And I’ll hold no grief for that which is not or won’t be kind.

Hearing Nothing
July 19, 2018
Hearing nothing, feeling all
How can I be in love
With nothing, nothing at all?
With words I wander in my mind
Imaging scenarios, images of all kinds
Maybe won’t come to pass
Maybe will last and last.
Doesn’t matter
For I see, I feel
While hearing nothing
Nothing not at all.

Honestly, Can’t Remember Anything
July 18, 2018
Honestly, can’t remember anything
Nor who I am in another life
I’m sure I lived and had command
Of all the things
In a life I can’t remember
Don’t understand.

I See The Beauty
July 17, 2018
I see the beauty
The magnificence
In all the land.
As I stand in awe of all
She reaches down
She touches me
She touches all.
She understands.

I Cope
July 16, 2018
In the heat of the moment
I cope
I learn to adjust
Not using mirrors, illusions
Or blinding smoke
I cope
Moving forward addressing
The matter, using kind words
Smiles and laughter
I cope
Nothing matters as much
As that I solve the issue
Adjust and move forward
That I cope.

I Was In Your Place
July 13, 2018I was in your place, I saw your face
But
You didn’t recognize me.
In another life we laughed and cried
‘Friends for Life’ we said that’s how it would be
But
Now I see you don’t recognize me
I’m just a face in a ordinary place
And you walked right pass me
No ‘Friends for Life’
What a state it has come to be.
Just the other day I was in your place
Saw your face
But
You didn’t recognize me.

In A Time Gone By
July 12, 2018
In a time gone by
We laughed, we cried
We joined hands to understand
The way life goes
No tears were lost
No embrace ignored
We lived it all
Life itself was our reward,

Feel The Rays Of Sunshine Bright
July 11, 2018
Feel the rays of sunshine bright
Beaming down from morning to night
Their passing is silent
Searing hot, radiating light
From millions of miles away
In a landscape both hot, tumultuous
And blazing bright, the sun comes
Bringing nutritious, living life.

Peace And Quiet Move My Soul
July 10, 2018
Peace and quiet move my soul
Let it function, let it roll
Onto pathways clear and pure
Not filled with tangled webs
Nor harrowing fear.
My feet they move my soul
Directed by time spent
In reverence of all things, all times
Understanding my quiet is
Peace of mind.
